Or wait for the upcomming new BL11 sub ! 😕

The BV10 is designed so it can be used as a stand alone set but with a sub-woofer. The BV11 will be the perfect match. However do have a listen for yourselves - I have a beolab 2 and it is not the bass that is the problem. And yes, I agree, it is very clear , probably more sore than the Avant. I plan to do some sort of frequency analysis if possible.

I've been experimenting a bit with the loudness and bass levels of the BV10 if I choose the speaker 1 option. It can be used as a standalone set with a sound that is ok. It is hard too compare it to the Avant in the basement, because it is a smaller room. But there is no doubt the Avant is far superiour when it comes to bass, but I think the sound is more "real" in the BV10.

Someone said earlier that the sound was about the same as the BV6. I have a BV6 a bedroom, and I'm more impressed with the sound of the BV10 than the BV6, especially when considered the difference in size of the two rooms.

The sound is very nice in the BV10!

Is the sound also better than the BV8-40🤔

Hi thavn,

Thx for sharing your experience. Currently I still use my Avant, of which I am very content with especially the sound. However me too will "step up" to the BV10, I am actually waiting for the BV10-46". Once I have the BV10, I am planning to connect it to my BeoLab 8000. I was just wondering how the sound of the BV10 compared to the Avant, especially with the loudness function.

I haven´t tried much with loudness and adjusting the bass. I can try over the weekend. I think it will perform very well together with your BL8000.

Hi thavn,

I am considdering to get a pair of BeoLab 9s and set them up with my BL8000 and soon to have BV10-46". Which one would you pair up front and which one in the back?

Regards

Well actually, an avant is no BV10 or a Beocenter AV5, so you can't have the deep bass like the crt's because it's a thin picture display. A crt is no lcd or plasma,and the sound you can't compare simply because you don't have the air volume inside like in the Beocenter 5 or the avant, so you can't compare it honestly,because the speakers are thinner and a smaller speaker cabinet...

The same for per example de Serenata, it is the best sounding gsm,but it's not a sound system,but you can't compare any other brand. So the sound of the BV 10 is spectacular for it's size if you compare to any other brand for the same picture size.

And don't forget, i read it, B&O Demands simply the newest and best lcd's and plasma screen's of their manufacturer, so they have the best and newest on the market,and that has also his price :-)

I agree/understand kronzilla, that is why I am looking for a fitting soundsystem with the BV10 to compensate the "dynamic" sound of my avant. I already got a pair of Beolab 8000 and I'm considdering to get a pair of Beolabs 9.

And you're right, everything has a price.

Hello!

I'm no expert, but I think the most natural would be to have the BL9s as front and the BL8000 as rear. The BL9 has a wider range, and would do the job as a subwoofer better than the 8000s, as well as the BL9 has ALT which is good for a front speaker.

Good luck with your choice, and let us know what you think when you get it!

A question from an innocent bystander - what are the exact limitations of the BV10 speakers and how do they compare to BL3's?

The BL3 isn't exactly large and many would argue they are superior to BL8000's (not exactly large in volumetric terms either but certainly larger than the BL3).

Is it also to do with the driver travel and is it limited within the BV10 compared to the BL3?

Much more surface area in the BL3. The bass is far more extended.
